For the fans of Demolishor here is a nice stop motion detailing his articulation and transformation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SIi8Ajvdjo

You and your demolishor love! That clip convinced me that he isn't as bad as I expected.

Demolisher rocks! Buy legends class Optimus for added fun.

[Doubledealer]

Yes indeed! Maybe if they included legends prime (battle damaged version perhaps?) with Demolishor more people would think him worthwhile, who knows. Man I can't wait to see him command his troops in the movie.

For you guys still a bit worried about Prime's chest pieces, i can recommend using a touch of light sandpaper on the red pegs. I'd read about it elsewhere and decided to give it a try tonight - shave a few mm's off, and the peg will ease into the chute and makes it a cinch to get out (still close to the top, widest point). Of course it doesn't affect anything adversely either, still easily held in position by the springs and shoulder top pegs.

I find it really surprising such an awesome toy has such an easily fixable engineering problem! The chute should have been shaped like a "7" instead of an "l". The chest piece never returns to the top unless you unlock the shoulders.. so there wouldn't be a risk of it coming out, even if the top was much wider than the rest of the chute and the peg thickness.

Can you take a photo of how (badly?) it sits in robot mode without the peg?

Sorry about the delay. Have actually been doing work the past few days.



It doesn't go up to the ear as Stompy said because of course the blue bit that sits on top of his shoulder pegs in, but regardless, it's completely unacceptable look.

Yeah, that's a great idea, and yeah, it's a bad design. I actually tackled the first transformation WITH the instructions, but for those that don't, or for those like me that just didn't "believe" the instructions, trouble ahead.
